How to download the Shortcuts developer beta

Apple's Shortcuts app lets you build so many custom actions using the capabilities of Apple's apps, as well as those built by third parties. In addition to offering the app to everyone through the App Store, those registered with the Apple Developer Program can get an early look at upcoming versions through the company's TestFlight beta testing service.

All you need to do is have an active developer account with Apple, request access, then download the beta if your request is accepted. Here's what you'll need to do to get in on the Shortcuts beta.

Tap Install if you already have the release version of Shortcuts installed on your iOS device.

The Shortcuts beta will now begin download on your iOS device. Keep in mind that once you've added Shortcuts to TestFlight on one device, you can install the beta on all of your iOS devices with the TestFlight app installed.
